Day 8 of Crochet Business Blogging- You are here because I am...Right??

Why am I here?? Why did I decide to join this blogosphere??

I am here because I want to share my love of writing and crocheting with anyone who will enjoy it.

Why are YOU here?

I would like to think you are here because I am funny and I crochet some nice things. Of course, you may have stumbled across this blog for a variety of different reasons. Share with me why you are here? Leave me a comment!

The focus of my blog is to share my love of erotic writing mixed with my love to crochet. My love of erotic and sexy things inspires my crochet a lot! My Love (that's what I call the wonderful man in my life) may suggest me wearing fishnets which in turn will cause me to crochet some and then I might think up a sexy story involving me, him and those fishnets. This is what can be expected on my blog. I do get asked a lot on my facebook page about if I offer my designs as patterns for other crocheters. I also plan on sharing patterns that I might use or write myself.

For this blog I want to post 3 times a week. One post will be sharing a crochet pattern/ project I am currently working on by posting directions, patterns and/or tutorials, another weekly post will be sharing an erotic story, and the third weekly post will be crochet inspiration.

Let me know what you (my lovely blog readers) would like to see here!!

SHINE ON!!

Day 7 of Crochet Business Blogging- I'm Official, Now What?

By crochet business has been registered and I have had my business license for a couple years now. Somehow I thought business would just appear *poof* customers!! Nope, it didn't work like that. So what do I do now?? This is one reason why I am participating in the Crochet Business Blogging Challenge,  in the past 7 days I have not only actually set a few goals but I have a less jumbled vision of my business and I have established some objectives.

So it only seems that the next step should be crocheting, LOL! I kinda lost my "crojo" in the past two months  with the holidays and such. I need to crochet new items to share on my blog and to post in my online stores.I want to have about 10 items to post by the 25th of this month. That is my crocheting goal!! Even if it is 5 new things and 5 old things I want to have something in those online shops that are now just sitting there. Once this is done I want to have a plan of action for marketing to help drive visitors to my shops and blog.

As I reread what I wrote I am a little nervous, but I can't quit if I haven't even tried yet!!

SHINE ON!!

Day 5 of Crochet Business Blogging- Are you my idea customer?

I must admit I did think about this when I thought about blogging. I wanted to blog about things that I loved and that I knew about. Which turned out to be sex and crochet...hahaha!! I spent several years as a "couples enhancement specialist" (ie selling sex toys and lingerie) and I have written and shared some of my erotic stories, not only with other crocheters but with people who don't crochet too. So it is my idea that I can successfully mix the two since I do crochet some rather sexy things. I want my blog to be friendly enough for other crocheters to visit my blog, I will share patterns I have written and found with those readers and I want it to be fun and sexy for anyone who just might be looking for something different. This is my blog market. Now my actual customer (who may or may not read my blog, although I hope they do!) will be someone who is purchasing my crochet items either for them self of for a gift. She is a trendsetter. She likes to stand out in a crowd. She can be described as eccentric or eclectic.

Are you my customer?? If you are tell me a little about yourself!!

SHINE ON!!

Day 4 of Crochet Business Blogging-My Code of Ethics

I was a bit stumped by this writing prompt because I had never really thought that crochet business run from home would have a "Code of Ethics". As I did some research I could understand having this in place not only for yourself as a business owner but for your customers too. They need to know if they have a problem how it will be handled by you, how you handle day to day tasks with customers, vendors etc., and how you communicate. By knowing this information they can decide to support your business based on your code of ethics alone.

These things are important to me as a crochet business owner and blogger:

TRUST/LOYALTY- I know that offering honest information about anything I am selling, offering or selling will ensure gained trust from my customers/readers. Over continued time of being honest these same people will become loyal customers and readers. This principle is something I hold dear to in personal relationships and I believe they should be upheld in business relationships as well.

INTEGRITY- I will exhibit consistency in my business practices, whether it be products, services, or information shared, my actions will reflect my values shared in my code of ethics.

RESPECT/FAIRNESS- I will be respectful to others in business and respectful to customers/ readers. I will honor opinions/contributions of others and embrace responsibility of my actions in order to be respectful. I will be fair and just in my decision-making concerning all business practices.


As I was creating this code of ethics I saw that this is the way I as a consumer, chose the businesses I frequent. These is not only my code in business but my code in life too.

Day 3 Blog Challenge- How will I Know??

Yeah I am playing catch up but I am not gonna give up!! For Day 3 of the Crochet Business Blogging Challenge is to list my objectives and how I will celebrate achieving them. Objectives are the proof that you have reached a goal. They are like little landmarks on the road towards your goal. I think for all of my goals that I listed in my Day 2 post the objectives are almost the same for all...

*I will have increased traffic to my website/blog....when I reach 10 visits per day I will celebrate by getting my nails done...YAY!!

*I will have blog interaction....when I have 5 comments in one week on my blog I will celebrate by taking myself to dinner...YAY!!

*I will have 5 sales per month between $50-$100 each....I will celebrate by buying myself a purse...YAY!! (I love purses by the way, LOL)

These are my objectives, since I only listed goals for the first 6 months of this year I will double my objects for the 2nd half of this year. Like I said...This year is gonna be great!!

Sexy Crocheter Here!!

So as you have probably guessed from the title of this blog; there are three thing I love SEX, CROCHETING and KNITTING...yes, in that order! HA! My thoughts of sex and how to get more sex influence my crocheting and knitting adventures. My man, we will call him My Love; has no problem with it at all, he encourages my creativity. He doesn't know it yet but I am hoping to act out my sex on top of yarn fantasy *wink*. I hope you enjoy my naughty crocheting and knitting adventures, along with advice, tips and free patterns (who doesn't love FREE patterns?)! Grab your hooks and sit a spell...
